Thanks, Ted. I wasn't aware that was how they are normally found? Although not rare, I thought there was (somewhat) fewer of these cards made, even in this series, that came with cream backs. (My mistake/misunderstanding)

I have read about/seen some gray backs but I highly doubt the day will come that I'll ever be able to afford any. Just owning one would be nice, but I bet I'm not the only one who wishes that!

Thanks. Like I mentioned above, I wasn't aware of that.
A small part of me was thinking/hoping, as I was bidding, and because these cards were being sold by a CDN, that just maybe they were something special but not many were paying attention?.
I was lucky enough to win all 6 cream back cards he had.
